Abstract (type = abstract)
Due to urbanization, there has been a rapid expansion in the developing cities, due to which there has been a large increase in the impervious surface area through the expansion of parking lots, roadways and other built up structures which resulted in altered natural water flows, reduced groundwater recharge, increased surface temperatures, and also have impacted water quality. Green infrastructure mimics natural systems to lessen these impacts and have a numerous environmental, social and economic benefits. The main objective of this thesis is to develop strategies for implementing green infrastructure on a municipal scale. Three different potentials were considered for analysis. First potential focuses on implementing green infrastructure for the entire municipality whereas the second potential focuses on implementing green infrastructure only in the area under 100-year flood zone. As a part of assessing the third potential a GIS suitability model is developed by integrating three key factors of green infrastructure suitability: soil type, land cover and tree canopy, and for the third potential green infrastructure techniques are implemented only in the highly suitable area from the model. Cost analysis is done for these three potentials for implementing different green infrastructure techniques like green roof, rain garden, bio swales, vegetation filter strips, planter box, permeable parking, permeable sidewalk and permeable driveway. Cost analysis is performed for a 50-year time horizon using a software package. Also the maximum surface run-off that will be captured by the used green infrastructure techniques is calculated for all the three potentials using the software package. This analysis hopes to provide technical support for practitioners and community planners for implementation of green infrastructure at municipal scale.
